 Post subject: adding to power socket spurs
PostPosted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:12 am 
Hi,
I've installed a 2-gang power socket spur from an existing socket. The spur is on a dividing wall with the next room, where I'd like to install another 2-gang socket.Could I run a cable from the existing spur a few inches through the wall to the new spur? The books say not to run one spur from another, but it's only a few inches and neither spur would be much used. If this is ...

 Post subject: Insulation values and top up thickness
PostPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:36 pm 
Hi,
I currently have 200mm thickness of rockwool type insulation in my loft. I know it's short of the 270mm or 0.16 U value but I want to get it there.

I also want to board out a section for some storage so I thinking of removing 100mm to take me back to the joist then celotex foil backed insulation board on top then board above that. Any other ideas? Does anyone know how to ...

 Post subject: Satinwood paint / water or oil based ????
PostPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:18 pm 
Im in the process of painting 6 x internal doors which have come already primed. I want to paint them in a satinwood finish but can't decide which paint to use;

Dulux Satinwood Trade or Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood.

I have read several reviews on each type of paint. The Satinwood Trade is an oil based paint and goes yellow, smells and takes about 16 hours to dry. Where as the Diamond is a waterbase ...

PostPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:19 pm 
I've been reading up on CH design so that I can put a new system in my 3 bed semi.

Looking at the building regulations 'Domestic Heating Compliance Guide' it looks as if I should be spitting the system into 2 zones.

It says:

"Dwellings with a total usable floor area up to 150m2 should be divided into at least two space heating zones with independent temperature control, one of which is assigned to ...

I am currently trying to install a solid fuel fire after the old gas fire was removed. we have had the chimney checked and swept.

My plan is to build up the hearth using bricks and then tile over it with quarry tiles...the question is:
would bricks be ok or should I use something else like concrete?
The loor in the room is concrete, will this make any difference?
should I tile the whole hearth ...

 Post subject: Greenstar heatslave 18/25
PostPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 8:25 pm 
I have a worcester Greenstar heatslave 18/25 boiler. With heating only selected the hot water coming out of the tap gets very hot about 65 degrees, even with the hot water stat set at min and hot water not selected. The diverter valve appears to be operating, is this normal or is the diverter valve faulty.
Any Advice appreciated
